Can I purchase the Opal app and share with my family?

Feedback 💡
#1

I’m looking into ways to help my family (me, husband, 4 kids ages 8-17) create healthier habits around technology use. I’d love to hear from others who have used it in a family in a collaborative way.

I’m also curious about pricing. We all have iOS devices. If I purchase Opal for myself, can I share it with my kids? Or does each person require a separate purchase? It will get prohibitively expensive if I have to purchase it 6 times! Is there any kind of family sharing or family discount?

I’m signing up for a free trial today to try it out for myself. Looking forward to responses here!

I have the same question as well. It would be nice to have opal pro subscriptions natively support family sharing: Supporting Family Sharing in your app | Apple Developer Documentation

HI Kenneth, I just purchased Annual Pro Plan because I thought I will be able to share it with my family, as your Support document said that all Pro Annual plan purchased via App Store can be shared via Family Sharing on iOS. However, I was not able to share my Annual Pro Plan at all, I also don’t see any “Yearly - Family Plan” as an option in subscription in app store. Can you please help me out?

Hi! Were you able to sort this out? I just purchased the yearly plan, shared the app through Apple family sharing but my family is still being prompted to try the app for a week and then pay for the year.
Thank you!

If you have a Pro subscription.

  1. Go to IPhone setting > Subscriptions > Opal and make sure family sharing is turned on.
  2. Add family members in your IPhone settings.
  3. family members download Opal, and set up account
  4. go to Opal settings on top right corner > scroll to bottom and hit restore purchases (second to last item in settings page).

This will connect their account to your subscription.
